New PS2 Design Confirmed

by Rainier on Nov. 6, 2007 @ 4:36 a.m. PST

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan announced that it will launch a newly designed PS2 in Japan on Nov. 22nd, 2007 (Europe early 2008) for an estimated 6,000 yen in three color variations, Charcoal Black, Ceramic White and Satin Silver. The new PS2 now has an internal AC and will be lighter in weight.

The newly designed PS2 will come in three color variations of “Charcoal Black”, “Ceramic White” and “Satin Silver”. Vertical Stand for PS2 will also become available on November 22nd, 2007 in the same three colors at a recommended retail price of 1,500 yen (including tax).

While inheriting the functions of the current PS2, the internal design architecture of the new system has been completely overhauled, resulting lighter in weight. The newly designed PS 2 will have a built-in AC adapter, further improving users’ convenience to enjoy various entertainment contents anywhere at home.

In the 8th year from its launch in 2000, PS2 continues to be strongly supported by a wide demographic of users around the world. Reaching the remarkable milestone of 120 millionth sales in shorter period than the original PS did, the world of PS2 further expands as more new and attractive software titles are to be released this coming holiday season and beyond.

With the newly designed PS2, together with the lineup of forthcoming new game titles, SCEJ will continue to expand the market and create a new world of computer entertainment.

The new model of PS2 will be the same price as the existing model and will be available in the SCEE territories in early 2008. Specific launch dates to be announced at a future date.
